Why many environmentalists are warming to nuclear power
"With respect to safety, forty years ago we were very focused on the potential for low-probability, high-consequence accidents in which the fuel in a nuclear power plant could melt and release radiation to the environment. In response to this risk, nuclear energy technologies in the United States are carefully designed and operated to avoid accidents and minimize their consequences. Here again, several decades of experience of nuclear industry operations, overseen by the NRC, have demonstrated that accidents are very rare, and when they do occur, the radiation exposure is minimal."

Climate activists have lost sight of their mission
"What too many well-meaning activists don’t seem to understand — or don’t want to admit — is that the clean energy industry is nowhere near ready to replace fossil fuels, which make up 60 percent of all electricity production in the United States. Even if the country were prepared politically to start turning off its carbon spigot, it simply could not do so without generating an energy crisis."

Majority of Americans support more nuclear power in the country
Rebecca Leppert and Brian Kennedy of Pew Research write on American attitudes toward nuclear power. “While younger Republicans generally tend to be more supportive of increasing domestic renewable energy sources than their older peers, the pattern reverses when it comes to nuclear energy. For example, Republicans under 30 are much more likely than those ages 65 and...

The Olympic windsurfers and rowers fighting invasive alien species
"Invasive species can be a particular concern in ports and harbours due to the movement of a large number of boats, as well as the sheltered environments they provide. In Weymouth Harbour alone, 18 different non-native species were found in 2023. These include Japanese kelp which grows quickly on hard surfaces such jetties and moorings, outcompeting native kelp; slipper limpets which settle in wave-protected areas like marinas where they smother other seabed species and consume planktonic larvae; and trumpet tubeworms which gather in huge numbers to form large reef-like structures. But, says Read, by carrying out a simple 'clean, check, dry' procedure we can minimise the introduction and spread of such invasive species."

Celebrating Success: John Curtis and the Conservative Climate Movement
"Rep. Curtis’ efforts have resulted in a much-needed conservative voice on energy and climate policymaking, emphasizing a 'big tent' energy approach, sharpened by American innovation and leadership. These milestones are worthy of celebration, but there is plenty of work ahead including permitting reform, advanced energy innovation and rebuilding America’s supply chains, which will continue to strengthen our economy, secure our nation and protect our environment for generations to come."
